Collaborative Interdisciplinary Research Program in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (R24): The complexity and pace of biomedical science often requires input and expertise from many more than one investigator. Currently support for collaborative research takes the form of a large R01 with one Principal Investigator (PI) and one or more key personnel,, a multi-PI R01, or a Program Project Grant (P01) with 3 or more individual and independent projects and cores centered on a common theme, or a Center supporting a focused set of activities. Other large research mechanisms often utilize cooperative agreements that also entail significant involvement of the NIH in the planning and execution of research objectives. In large collaborative studies synergies are built out of the interactions between and among the projects and investigators of these focused efforts. It is becoming clear that mechanism(s) to support collaborative (team) science in ways not amenable to the R01, P01, or Center are needed to address complex problems in biomedical sciences that require multiple and often different expertise. In 2003 the Bioengineering Consortium of the NIH held a workshop entitled Catalyzing Team Science that focused on the need to bring to bear multiple and differing expertise on problems that were of a complexity and scope that called for the need to apply a team approach to the problem.
